Anakie to Townsville

So we headed from Anakie to Emerald to do a grocery shop and bought Chloe some new shorts because she decided that she doesn't want to wear her skirts anymore - which is all she has ever wanted to wear previously! We stopped at Capella for some lunch and a photo with the iron horse.

We drove onto Clermont, where we had planned to stop at a dam, but after ringing the caretaker we decided it might be too busy to try and fit the bus in so we kept on driving. Its a pretty long road from Clermont to Charters Towers with nothing much in between expect for a service station with a small caravan park out the back. This is where we ended up staying for the night - Belyando Crossing. We headed off early in the morning (early for us anyway - Chloe does not liked to be rushed in the mornings!), once we got to Charters Towers we had a run around the park and the kids decided they wanted to keep driving so they could get to the beach. So we jumped in the bus and headed towards Townsville and the beach!!
